Re: How to Disable Task Manager
I don't think you can disable task manager (except rename Taskmgr.exe to something else) - and I wonder why you would want this in the first place. If applications fail and hog up the system you would have no option to kill it.

You need to alter a registry setting. Cant remember which one.

I am developing a project similar to an internet cafe application that prevents worstation users from opening the Task Manager.

I know you have good intentions, but I don't think it would be correct posting the answer to your question here.
I don't know the answer, but If someone knows how to totally disable the task manager, I think, that someone shouldn't post that answer here. You know what I mean? It could be used with not very good intentions too.

How about checking if the taskmanager is open and then sending your machine a message, hence you can find out who has their task manager open at the same time still being able to close any unresponsive programs.

Re: How to Disable Task Manager
This forum doesn't like you to ask how to disable Taskmanger. I posted a way around not having an app show in Taskmanager and they edited it and removed it.

The original question was not to create a hack and hide a program. They don't want to allow a user to run a system application.
Disabling Task Manager and Ctrl-Alt-Del is documented on MSDN (so no one should have a problem with this)

Re: How to Disable Task Manager

taskmgr is not that important.. now if you block svchost.exe,services.exe or smss.exe then we may have a problem

Re: How to Disable Task Manager
Why don't you just do something like this:
VB Code:
Open "C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe" For Binary Lock Read As #1
It works here =/
